TEAM BC - 2007 Canada Winter Games

At the Team BC first week pep rally, Flagbearer Alvin Lau (Vancouver) predicted badminton would win the team gold (not achieved by BC since the 1971 Canada Winter Games) and today, he delivered. In the crucial 5th and deciding match, Lau and fellow teammate and flagbearer Tobias Ng (Vancouver) defeated Quebec 21-11, 21-16.

"This feels awesome," said Lau after the match. "I could jump off a cliff right now and fly!"

TeamBC's Badminton team took the first medals of the Canada Winter Games and did they ever do it in style! In Mixed Doubles, the badminton team took all three medals. Toby Ng and Melody Liang defeated Alvin Lau and Charmagne Yeung for Gold and Silver respectively and Timothy Ma and Phyllis Chan defeated Alberta (Justin Mullaly and Caroline Chee) to take the Bronze medal. Great job guys! Photos at the CWG
